Wanderbirds Social Events

Hoooooraaay!!
As are our lives, all of our Wanderbirds social activities are gradually returning to their traditional, seasonal rhythm. The Club has been known to host annual dinners in the spring, a picnic-hike in the summer, a year-end holiday party and even a week-end Hiking Jamboree in the fall! We look forward to connecting with new Wanderbirds and restoring ties to long-time ‘birds!

If you have any questions, contact our Director of Entertainment.

WINERY HIKES

Two winery hikes will be offered in the 3rd quarter (Summer) of 2023, one hike in Maryland and one in Virginia.

Watch the Hike Schedule and this space for forthcoming details.

ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY

Holiday Party. Every December, the Wanderbirds get together (some in holiday finery, others in ugly Christmas sweaters) to send off the old year with great food and drink and a few holiday surprises. But most of all, it’s simply another chance to see what our hiking buddies look like without hats, packs and poles, and to reminisce about so many memorable hikes (and other social events)! Don’t miss out!
